The Maryland driver that caused this crash has $760 in unpaid speeding tickets. They should have their license taken away.




Ketanji Jackson has taken multiple IQ tests in her life (SAT, LSAT, etc). It would be easy for Ketanji to disprove her hates by releasing her scores.

Shohei Ohtani takes the No. 1 spot in the first Hitter Power Rankings of 2026 💪

Here are the outcome probabilities with resulting win probability. With these calcs: A take has an expected WP of 19.5% A swing has an expected WP of 6.5% There would need to be a 67% chance of called strike for the EV of a swing to meet or exceed the EV of a take.

If he takes: Ball 4 Strike 3 (two outcomes, one bad, one good) If he swings: In play, safe (tied 2-2 or win 3-2) Foul Ball (do it again) Swing and miss (game over) In play, out (game over) I think it's the about the same. You have to protect with two strikes, and the umpire ruled it strike three. Not saying that's right or wrong (it's probably wrong), but it's a closer pitch than folks think, that's all.



For baseball nerds like me, this is the problem I have with the ABS system coming to MLB. It was a strike when it crossed the plate. And was correctly called. But by time catcher caught it, looked low. ABS challenge system will call it a ball. I say let the umps call it. FWIW.
